But so was Foucault?

Pretty much all of Foucault's work is about how the state's version of acceptable morality/behaviour is trying to control the individual.

Not really a question about gaming, but more culture in general.

You've mentioned Iranians playing GTA, or watching Game of Thrones; popular Western culture. While the most seen culture from Iran in the West is probably something arthousy like the films from Farhadi or Kiarostami.

What is some 'mainstream'/'popular' TV show or movie from Iran that Westerners should check out?

Good luck out there!

What would happen if Erdogan 'gives in' by declaring there will be early elections in two months? He'd get fewer votes, but would probably still be the largest party. Would it change the protests? Would they continue?

While I think De Correspondent has done a lot of good journalism in the last few years, it has on multiple occasions taken a 'you never heard about this in the MSM, but last week The Guardian published...'

You've been called on this by Dutch journos multiple times, most notably by Kustaw Bessems.

There is also the issue of you working for years without any non-white journos, and only hiring some after being cvalled on it, and then slowly transforming into a nearly all-white staff again.

I like De Correspondent, it does decent work, I give it money, but the organization can be very annoying and dismissive of other journalists.
